Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

Protecting

I was advised to consult with owners of businesses that are similar to the one I am currently working to start (online business). While I think this is a great idea, I would like to know if there is anything I should do to protect myself from possible claims that suggest I am copying their ideas since our businesses offer some of the same types of products. Thanks in advance for your help.
